I put in a box with a 4 ohm kicker sub in a box and it sounds great. Of course, I dont have any storage space under the observers seat, but i dont need it anyways.

As far as music, if your receiver has a USB, I highly recommend a flash drive full of your music. saves your cell battery, and sound quality will be much better.

I’m like you – want good sound, but doesn’t need to be “Kyle”good.

"Kyle" good - Is this a Metric, US or some sort of off planet hybrid measurement??:D:D:D

I'm with ya - I'm after quality tunes that don't break the bank. I got lucky with mine; the PO dumped in a new system the summer before he sold to me. Thanks Brandon!!!!

Lord, you'd think you were at an amphitheater listening to Kyles stereo... It's the best I ever heard.

2 things about that amp that would have me keep shopping. Specs are sketchy, but based on the size of the single fuse, im guessing that amps RMS will not be much more then that of your head-unit. So no real benefit. 2) it looks to be full-range only, no selectable cross-over filter.

To go one step further, im not sure it is bridgeable, so no chance to drive a sub with it.

So to answer your ?'s
1) neither really, but will not be any better then the head-unit
2) not with this sub, you will need another
3) Clarion deck is a solid H/U. This in-boats are fine if they fit the boat, budget, like the looks and sound. Amp, well i think we covered that.

Clarion HU?....good.
Infinity speakers?....alright. But, consider spending a bit more to get a marine coaxial with a true dome tweeter that is considerably smoother rather than the W-dome used by that Infinity model. A W-dome is efficient and aggressive but also with a very erratic response. A little too harsh for my ears.
Pyle amplifier?....awful! No switching power supply. Just a BTL amplifier similar to a head unit. Totally bogus specs. Step up and get something that is a keeper. You need a three, four or five-channel amplifier if you are certain that you will be adding a subwoofer in the future.

For what it's worth, I put the Infinity 612's in my Tristar, and I really liked both the sound and the look of them, and the price was right. I powered them with Sound Stream amp, rated at 100 watts per the 4 channels. The speakers loved the power (which was prob realistically 75 watts each). Now that I bought an Xstar, I am stepping up to Wet Sounds XS-650's powered by a Syn 4 :D. Might as well spend a little xtra.....

This amp. This is what I'm going to put in. Similar setup. Lots of bike guys put these in there bikes. Seems to get great reviews
